Unlike other designs for the Sprite extruder ribbon cable with horizontal cable output, mine runs cable vertical which:
1. naturally conform to how the cable run towards the next clip
2. provides more space away from the Z-extrusion even with full extended range for X (from -10.0 to 250.0), and Z=270.0 even with glass bed. I planned to design a nozzle brush at the far right of x-gantry such that it can work with “wipe nozzle between layer” slicer setting.
The print-in-place clip probably works best with PETG which is more malleable. I printed with PLA just to see if too stiff but turned out OK.
I printed with 0.2mm layer height, 0.48mm line width 3 walls with 0 infill (walls cover all infill areas). No support needed.
Update 2023-03-20: Uploaded version 2.0. This is a big update as my stock mount cracked around the mounting bolt holes so it's good time to re-design the “add-on” to be an integrated mount/strain-relief. The top part is a print-in-place self-locking clip where you can unlock/lock by pushing the top towards the right side (towards x=220). I printed with PETG but it should be fine with PLA or PLA+. No support required. Please see the updated installation instruction video.
Update 2023-04-02: Uploaded version 2.1. This version raised the bottom and moved forward the clip part for clearance with linear x-rail kit. The cable will have a tighter bend but the bend is fixed not moving so it should not wear out the cable. I'll report back if my cable fails but I'm confident it should be fine. Use at your own risk.
